vs. DET: Opponent Game Thread Highlights
Today’s Opponent Game Thread host: Detroit Bad Boys.
Quick note: Detroit Bad Boys gave birth to the Opponent Game Thread. I don’t remember why I was reading their game thread that day back in ’08, but it was so amusing* that it made me start reading other teams’ game threads. So big props to them.
*The comment that started it all for me was posted right after Kyle Korver checked into the game: “Who is that devastatingly handsome man who just checked in for the Jazz? I’m a straight man, but my god he is beautiful.”
Any time I think of Utah
I think of that Mormon girl Julie from The Real World circa 2000.
What a free spirit. Just like Jerry Sloan.

J[onas] J[erebko] has some of the ugliest moves in the world.
I feel like if I had been his height, I would have been the exact same type of NBA player as him…minus the soccer skills.
by The Boourns on Mar 12, 2012 9:46 PM EDTHaha, right. JJ looks far from graceful whenever driving to the hoop.
by Kruza on Mar 12, 2012 9:47 PM EDTI think its because he’s so beautiful.
by The Boourns on Mar 12, 2012 9:48 PM EDTCan’t be perfect I guess
But he’s as close as it getsby JWurm on Mar 12, 2012 9:50 PM EDT
Keep driving Stuck
by JWurm on Mar 12, 2012 10:02 PM EDTThe Jazz have no answer for him.

Jefferson is killing us
by JWurm on Mar 12, 2012 10:24 PM EDTWhere did Rodney get that decent jumper from?
by madpoopz on Mar 12, 2012 10:27 PM EDTI don’t know. I’m confused
by Kriz on Mar 12, 2012 10:27 PM EDTJazz Nation, isn’t it awesome to know that the Stuckey we saw killing us is not the Stuckey the Pistons see every night?
More Stuckey jumpers!
by JWurm on Mar 12, 2012 10:27 PM EDTStuckey!
by curlyfries on Mar 12, 2012 10:27 PM EDTWho is this Stuckey guy??

Jefferson going postal
by Vreeland2 on Mar 12, 2012 11:07 PM EDTBecause I like the DBB community and it is where the Opponent Game Thread was born, I am going to overlook the improper usage of the adjective “postal” on a player other than the Mailman.
Game ova
by TDP on Mar 12, 2012 11:19 PM EDTOh, stop fouling, Detroit, this ain’t college
by Toledo Joe on Mar 12, 2012 11:24 PM EDTPretty annoying

Love knowing how the opponent game thread started. It was a major part of why I enjoyed this blog in the very beginning.
I appreciate you making sure that people know that when they refer to JJ that it is not THE J.J.
